This invention includes subject matter divided out of my co-pendingapplication.

filed October 6th, 1930 under Serial No.

486,533 and has for its object the provision of 5 a manifolding salesbook of simple, easily handled construction in which at least one carbonleaf isprovided for each original record leaf and in which a record ofeach original istransferred to the back of a carbonleaf which normallywill be retained in the book for reference.

I attain my object by means of a construction which may be brieflydescribed as follows: A triplicate record leaf and an original recordleaf are formed by folding a sheet of paper so that the original leafoverlies the triplicate which is formed with a projecting stub. seriesof these record units are bound in superimposed form to a suitable coverby means of the stubs. Also, separately bound to the cover insuperimposed form are a series of carbon leaves which are carbonized onthe under surface only and are in number p one more than the number oforiginal record leaves in the book.

so positioned that pairs of them may be readily positioned between theuppermost original and the triplicate to which it is'attached, so that arecord made on the'original 9 is transferred by the underlyingcarbon'leaf to the back of the lowermost carbon leaf to form a duplicaterecord and by the lowermost carbon leaf to the triplicate record leaf.The

- r pad of record leaves is so supported that used carbon leaves may beturned in under it to remain 1n the book as a permanent reference.

The invention is hereina-fter more specifically described and isillustrated in the ac-- companying drawing in which Fig. 1 is aperspective view of a book constructed in accordance with my inventionready for use in making the first entry; I

Fig. 2 a perspective view of the cover; and Fig. 3 a perspective viewshowing the 45 method of disposing of used carbon-record leaves.

In the drawing like numerals of reference indicate corresponding partsin the different figures.

r Y Referrmg to the drawing, 1 1s a back These carbon leaves are formedof ordinary cover stock. To one end of this back is connected,preferably integrally, aflap 2 and to its'other end a cover leaf 3.

To the free end ofthe flap 2 is secured, preferably by stapling, a padof superimposed record units. Each unit comprises a stub 1 bound to theflap, a triplicate record leaf 5 integral with the stub and an originalrecord leaf integral with the triplicate and folded thereover. V

These record leaves are of what is known in the trade as clean leaves,that is their backs are not carbonized and they therefore do not serveas transfer leaves. V 65 To the back 1 is also secured a pad of carbonleaves 7 in such a position that they may be turned in successively to aposition between original and triplicate record sheets.

Preferably the pad of carbon, leaves is secured by stapling to the, backclose to the stubs 4 and so that they Willithrow in over said stubs intoco-operative relationship with the record sheet-s. 7

Each carbon leaf is carbonied onone side only so that a record may betransferred to its back by an overlying carbon leaf, while it in turntransfers to an underlyingleaf.

The full advantage of my invention is obtained by employing one morecarbon leaf than the number of original record leaves.

V The mode of operation is as follows:

' The cover leaf 3 and the carbon leaves 7 are thrown back as shown inFig. 1. The first original record leaf is raised and the uppermost twocarbon leaves turned in under it.

The desired entry is then made on the original and transferred by theupper carbon leaf to the back of the under carbon leaf and by the latterto the underlying triplicate leaf. 'The original and triplicate are thentorn out and the pad of record leaves swung up, following which thecarbon leaf bearing the record on its back is dropped beneath the flapcarrying the pad The second original in the pad of record sheets is thenlifted and the carbon leaf. which previously was used to effect thetransfer of the record to the carbon leaf which has been turned undertil ' that I have devised a manifolding book which n. all

the pad, is then dropped on top of the second triplicate record leaf andanother transfer leaf is brought forward and dropped on top of thefirst. The second original record leaf is then dropped on top of thecarbon leaves, when the book is ready for the record- :erves to receivea transferred record on its j ack and to transfer a record to theunderlying triplicate record leaf.

The process is kept up until all the record leaves have been used.. Itwill then be. fe-und that all thecarbon leaves, save the last, bear arecord and have been turned under lhe iap 2 now carryingonly the stubsof the triplicate record leaves. :To fa'ciiitalfetlie operation of thetriplicate record sheets from the stubs theusual lines of weakness S"will be employed. Lines of weakness 9 Will also be employed tofacilitate the separation of the triplicates and originals.

From the above description it will be seen will provide an original andtwo transfer records of every transaction and hat 'vrith only theaddition of one carbon sheet to the numberrequired for a duplicate bookeniploying a carbon sheet in each manifohii unit. I The originals andtriplicates will, of course, be numbered serially and the carbon at ssimilarly numbered, with the exceg ti most When the book is closed. 7

The carbon leaves may be provided with uncarbonized end margins 10 tofacilitate clean handling. 7
